Fig 3. SARS-CoV-2 translational efficiency and ACE2 expression across species.

Fig 3

(A) Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) of all viral proteins across different species. (B) tRNA Adaptation Index (tAI) of all viral proteins across different species. Boxes expand from the first to the third quartile, with the center values indicating the median. The whiskers define a confidence interval of median ± 1.58*IQR/sqrt(n). (C) Median ACE2 gene expression in lung tissues of each species, normalized by the house-keeping gene ACTB. RNA-seq expression levels were retrieved from Sun et al. (2020) or from the Bgee database [42].
